Is this the official ambulance of the Boston Red Sox?
It was parked near Faneuil Hall. Perhaps they were waiting for the breakdancers to break something. Or they were looking for entertainment before tonight’s game. Your guess is as good as mine!
The sun, which has been pretty flaky lately, sets while people wait for the Boston Pops rehearsal to begin.
Let this photo be proof that the sun actually came out today. I was beginning to think summer was canceled.
I won’t be able to attend the actual concert, so I went to the esplanade this evening to hear the Boston Pops rehearse for tomorrow night’s 4th of July celebration, the Fireworks Spectacular. Neil Diamond will perform, so he was there, which was pretty cool!
I was excited to hear them play “Sweet Caroline” and grabbed my iPhone as soon as they started: Click here to hear them rehearse “Sweet Caroline”.
I wasn’t expecting anything fantastic as far as sound quality goes, as the iPhone mic definitely isn’t meant for recording live music, but it turned out pretty well! (I used the new Voice Memos application and edited it for length in Audacity after syncing with my computer.)
Enjoy! And happy birthday, America!
Earthfest 2009, DCR Hatch Shell on the Charles River Esplanade
People celebrated the Earth, music was played, beach balls were thrown…
The Lemonheads and beach balls
…bags were confiscated and some kids were thrown out.
Busted!

I need a good caption for the above photo.
Possibilities:
Look at that sky!
But seriously, what a beautiful day in our fair city! It was nice to finally see the sun this week!
I have never seen this happen before. Two guys competing over the balloon hat business.
Rami Salami and... that other guy.
As you can see, Rami Salami has the ultimate set up. Very extravagant. Big, colorful sign with his name on it. Another sign explaining how his pricing works. He had a microphone and music. And he wears a blue afro wig.
The other guy (red and blue jacket) just has some crates with colorful paper in them. But the crowd around him is larger, so he must be making superior balloon hats. Unfortunately, I did not get a hat from either of them so I cannot say for sure who makes the best ones.
Who would you go to for your balloon hat?
Clock near North Market Building
There better be some serious May flowers in store for us after today’s nastiness. I guess I should just be happy it was raining and not snowing. Faneuil Hall Marketplace was desolate.
Wet Marketplace
But it was not a total wash. One of the outdoor carts braved the weather and opened up…
Toy cart
The toy cart! So the city of Boston was able to fulfill its need for severed hands, Bob Marley wigs, and those things that pop when you throw them on the ground. Thanks for taking one for the team, toy cart!
